Boycott US

For real, and with the apparently boundless innovation and commitment to new heights in corporate disaster we're seeing these days?

Pshaw. This dude is gonna have to destroy his company with a lot more focus and dedication than this to have even a glimpse at the leaderboards.

That's sort of what I meant. I've used the new Affinity software for a bit, and it's technically great. But, at the same time, I know they're not going to keep up with it, especially since it's free.

Godot operates on a non-profit, open-source model, supported by donations and corporate sponsorship through the Godot Foundation, rather than a traditional profit-driven software company. It is completely free and open-source under the MIT license, meaning no royalties, seat fees, or revenue cuts are taken from developers.

And Valve's success with the Deck seems like it might be a catalyst for Linux going mainstream.

And Europe is making a lot of moves towards digital sovereignty, too.

All signs point to us entering a golden age for open software.

It will be interesting to see how the AI bubble bursting, destroying trillions of dollars of fake tech company paper wealth, affects this transition. I expect it will accelerate the decline of Big Tech.

I see. Just checked a vid of some YouTube animation artist. They just gave Adobe animate 1 month before removing it from suite. Woah... Even Flash had few years to live after a discontinuation announcement.
